HJ 3 Wyoming House · 2026 Regular Session

Storage of spent nuclear fuel and waste-vote required.

This joint resolution (HJ 3) proposes a constitutional amendment requiring Wyoming voters to approve any storage of high-level radioactive waste or spent nuclear fuel in the state. It would amend the Wyoming Constitution to state that such storage cannot occur under state law without an affirmative vote by the state's electors. The measure applies directly to any future storage projects for these materials and would require a majority voter approval before any such facility could be established. This is a procedural requirement, not a policy on waste management itself.
